A Kia hybrid closer to reality?
A Kia Forte hybridKia is ramping up plans to begin selling the Kia hybrid in Korea.
The Kia Forte hybrid is built on the same liquid petroleum injected, lithium hybrid technology as Hyundai's recently launched Elantra hybrid. While none of these liquid petroleum injected hybrid vehicles will make it to America, Hyundai will sell the Sonata hybrid in America starting next year.
And if Kia hybrids follow the same roll out path as Hyundai hybrids, can a Kia hybrid for America be very far behind?

As I have always said, I don't know why companies like these simply don't release hybrid versions of these cars to begin with. I don't buy cost anymore. People will pay for a $20K compact with a hybrid system.
A Fit would have been good as well as this very good looking Forte in SX trim..not this hideous thing shown.
Well, we should still get the Fit.
But I agree with you. If you're going to enter the hybrid market today, it seems the compact hybrid is the segment that offers the greatest sales potential.
Unfortunately, however, until lithium gets going, it seems we're going to have little competition in this segment.
Wouldn't buy a Kia if my life depended on it.
Kia, like Hyundai, is gaining momentum.
I'd buy a Kia before a Chrysler.
